Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Alexandra Hotel offers a delightful experience with stunning views overlooking Lyme Bay, easily accessible from spacious rooms. Many guests appreciate the well-maintained grounds and convenient location at the top end of Lyme Regis, a short walk from town. The breakfast, including options like the salmon bagel, receives consistent praise. Some guests have found the single rooms or bathrooms to be on the smaller side.

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

tiny bathroom locked door

the restaurant staff was a delight.

The bathroom in my single room felt tiny. i had to squeeze around the door just to move. worst, i got trapped in the garden one evening because the door locked automatically, and nobody informed me how to get back inside after a certain hour.

pleasant stay with amazing views

central location helpful staff

the hotel location is wonderful and very central. the rooms are well-decorated. the staff was helpful with any questions i had (especially about local attractions). the gardens provide comfortable seating.

otherwise, parking in the municipal lot up the hill becomes the only option. this can be a bit inconvenient.
